2C)
Assume that the CAPM holds in the economy. The following data is available about the market portfolio, the riskless rate, and two risky assets, W and X: The market portfolio has a standard deviation equals to 10%, stock W has an expected return equals to 16%, standard deviation equals to 12%, and beta equals to one, stock X has a standard deviation equals to 6% and beta equals to 0.7. The risk-free rate is 3%.
What is the expected return and the beta of the market portfolio?
What is the expected return on asset X?
Does asset W lie on the Capital Market Line? Explain why or why not.
Suppose you invested $100,000 in these two stocks. The beta of your portfolio is 1.25. How much did you invest in each stock? What is the expected return of this portfolio?
a) Suppose the risk-free rate is `X'% and the expected rate of return on the market portfolio is 10%. In your view, the expected rate of return of a security is 12.2%. Given that this security has a beta of 1.4, do you consider it to be overpriced, under-priced or fairly priced according to the Capital Asset Pricing Model? Please provide the details of your calculations and discuss your results.
b) Using a graph, explain when a security is overpriced, under-priced or fairly priced according to the Capital Asset Pricing Model. Plot your answer from (a) onto this graph.
Consider the following information:
Standard Deviation. Beta
Security T 30% 1.90
Security K. 30% 1.20
a. Which security has more total risk?
b. Which security has more systematic risk?
c. Which security should have the higher expected return?
d. What does the total risk consist of? What kind of risk is eliminated with portfolio diversification?
